and collaborated with the landscape architects he's dedicated to have the highest craftsmanship in addition a lot of classic materials and techniques and prien of 3-d technology and other materials we bridges the old world and contemporary world he's highly professional and as commit as anyone can be and full of integrity we appreciate so a little bio on lawrence born in england and raised in australia and head of the sculpture project at the university of denver art history and created over 20 art projects including which they think and e china and throughout but united states and has numerous with regard from

the american for the public art network and we're very thrilled with what he's proposing for the art for this project and stealing grateful for the enormous amount of artwork with pleasure i introduce him. >> thank you for giving me time although it is less of a sentiment i started with the project i wanted to give you an idea to think about basically, the whole project it wasn't about creating one piece but a collective tissue to an idea in connection with the developer and on the understanding and appreciation of classical art i

myself have an interest in classic art and the renaissance during that period of time there was a connection with me what all of that to play with we started out by creating one piece we have actually all those elements there are 8 elements you'll see i think in your premature you'll see the outcome of the connected piece but the connection of all of the objects it's sense of history place within it's reintegration in the way i move through side understanding of aesthetics and process so it started out with a inquiry it existed many years before and

the connective tissue at this moment the stone and where the ancient artifacts came from let's see see the plaza you see the query wall and the interpretation and the relationship of that within it and we have the 92 foot sculpture in the brochure it is stop signless steel and tweaked it we have something that is a connection not only with the plaza but below this is something like a jen new in the bottle with the connections underneath looking at something was there and rising and emerging from the ground below i use a lot of the digital technologies and scanned traditional sculptures and able

to distort them with 8 blocks around the plazas you'll see on the top left-hand drawings the boulders we've used we've diagonally middle inside of the form of the sculptures i've scanned they end up having a look that is not like the traditional but there they've been birthed already with a process of histothe reality with the material this is already there as well so i looked at a few of the pieces this is the first one you saw the transition of what they are i also developed a table that is a community table because of the diane experience that people will have in a place and have an element where people seat i like the idea to procure perhaps a

unprocure procedural block that is 26g long by 7 inches deep and on top of so when your sitting down and having a communication you'll see it directed towards the piece the table on the top has something not quite normal the ripping of a table cloths embedded in the surface the rendering are hard to see it is the hoefg an element of magic perhaps you walk around don't know they're there but undercover perhaps experience this in 0 a new light entrance way coming in phase 4 to the plaza this is phase 3 at the point you see ttsdz chopped

up we have a mosaic this is from another artifact we see the relationship with the other and i've created another moment of drawing belief rather than necessarily on the surface so there's a connection you royals what am i and where am i going it is unin her and behind the glass inside a pool and there's a light that goes on in the inside at night an illuminating that bounces off the form like a ghost and we have the mixing a map and then we have on

stephanie so that street there are a relationship to the stimulation another play to understand what you are tend to when your 43 at the middle the mosaic and stevenson street the spiepgs there are 8 millimeters apart 2 hundred millimeters apart so a difference all about un unnew year's eve perhaps a new experience so this one shows up we have another piece that was designed by another artist. >> thank you. sir, your time is up. >> i get it. >> thank you. we might have questions. >> any public comment? on this
